What if your 70s could be your healthiest years yet? 

I get DMs every week from women in their 60s and 70s who think they've missed the window. They're too old. Their condition is too far gone. Their doctor already said the labs are fine, so this must just be what 70 feels like.

So I wanted you to meet Barbara.

She's a psychiatrist, she runs the counseling center at Harvard, she was a professionally trained pianist before medicine, and she has had type 1 diabetes for 55 years. When she was diagnosed there was no way to even test your blood sugar. Doctors told her the damage to her eyes would start in two years. Then five. Then 10. Fifty five years later, nothing.

And when we got on our first call I honestly wondered why this tiny, fit woman needed me at all. She played competitive tennis, she had a trainer of 13 years, she did Pilates. But she hated how she looked in photos. Slumped. A little puffy through the middle. Stuck at 135 when she wanted 125. And she'd quietly decided that was just how it was going to be.

It wasn't. Her cortisol was running backwards, low in the morning and high at night. Three weeks of one simple change before bed and she was down three pounds and her blood sugars shifted. Now she has days where her pump says she's 100% in range, while other people with type 1 tell her they're sitting around 67.

We get into the board she put up in her office so her whole staff can see her red and green dots, the afternoon candy jar that's gone, why her primary care doctor refused to look at her labs, what happened when she started delegating, and the one thing she says matters more than any protocol, coming from a woman who has spent 30 years as a psychiatrist.

If you're 50, 60, 70, living with a condition, and you've been told this is as good as it gets, press play.
